// dmd -c mysqld.d (2.055 - Ubuntu)

// Error: can only initialize const member _mysql inside constructor
// Error: this is not mutable

Does anyone have any idea what's going on?

Thanks

I don't know what is going one, but putting a MYSQL object in Connection 
after having defined MYSQL as a dummy empty extern C struct does not 
seem to be a good idea.

If you don't need the internal data of struct MYSQL and you don't want
to care about. Then just keep some reference in your program.


alias void MYSQL;
alias void MYSQL_RES;

and then only use MYSQL* and pass it to every function.


struct Connection
{
   MYSQL* _mysql;

   ~this()
   {
   }

   this(int dummy = 0)
   {
      mysql_init(_mysql);
   }
}

The empty struct is a red herring. I cut mysql.d down to the bare minimum to
help
isolate the bug.

I get exactly the same error with the complete mysql.d

The correct way to do this is to declare an opaque struct, just as in C:

struct MYSQL;
